Exchange & Gift
Since the reign of King Rama V the Library of Congress and Thai government
and non-government institutions have exchanged publications. This program
has strengthened scholarship between the two countries. Annually, we receive
hundreds of publications by exchange for LC only and or gifts for distribution
to LC and our CAPSEA participants. These publications are used to support
the research of Southeast Asia for the US Congress and major intellectual
institutions.
Purchase Program
LC-Bangkok has an active purchase program to identify and acquire materials
that are not available through the exchange and or gifts program on the spot
and via regular field trips throughout Thailand. This program has been open
to CAPSEA members since 1990, having begun with assistance from the Henry
Luce Foundation. Now, a list of new titles is circulated electronically each
month to CAPSEA members for their section. Annually, a
list of selected serials titles is also circulated. The program is now open
to research institutions outside of the United States. For additional information
